I have BEGGED my psychiatrist to help me. I am a mess. I CANNOT believe that he won’t see me until THE END of JANUARY knowing full well that I am having a hard time functioning. His nurse just keeps telling me he says “just hang on”. And today “he says to make sure you are drinking water”. What the AF?!? I am going through fing WITHDRAWAL. he has ripped me off from two major meds in less than a freaking MONTH!! he says “go to the ER or partial hospital if you are having thoughts of suicide. . WTF does he not understand about I JUST STARTED A NEW JOB AND I DON’T HAVE the luxury of being in the hospital. I am feeling so bad that I am having awful thoughts. And I WILL NOT go to the hospital. They can bite me. I truly wish God would take me. I don’t want to do this anymore.

Ever since I stopped doing therapy because of insurance, I've been feeling that old tense and irritable sense of anxiety and stress. I hate that. I was making so many strides and changes during therapy, my therapist would acknowledge all of my progress and accomplishments, and I miss that reassurance. Today I thought about it, and I made those changes! She would always tell me that I chose to...

If you need to be admitted the doctor will give you a note for your work..... These are your choices TC....
You can go to emerg or not …. It might help you to be inpatient
You wrote " I truly wish God would take me.... I don't want to be here anymore"
You say you're ill and 'losing it'..... Then seek help for it... How can we not suggest you go to emerg….. You will be off work sick that's all …...xo
It's a place that people go to when they're really ill in order to get better
What would you do if you had a heart attack??…. If you need to be in the hospital then you should go
From what you've written, you are dealing with several factors contributing to your mental, and physical illnesses... driving you beyond the ability to cope with.
First, psy drug withdrawal, then physical pain. Add on, job and family crap.Your psy dr, your family, your job are not being supportive.
You Need to be proactive to have your needs met. The hospital er will not 'admit you' until you are examined, and they will not put you into a psy/ward unless you are suicidal.
Perhaps if you did go to er, get a note for a leave of absence, then you could get help for your physical pain...back...and prn for your withdrawal symptoms. I can't say for certain...but would think a "medical" absence would give you the ability to hold on to your job.
I can visualize you pulling your hair out.....and I do feel for you being on your own...it's Not Easy! The choice is yours....best answers leading to helping yourself, please come to you!
